So far my favorite out of the „younger“ KFMs. Most pronounced fruit notes. If this is based on the partial tropical aging remains speculation. ;)

Initially wafts of varnish, orange peel and molasses, but leave it to develop for 20 minutes and it gets tannic with raisins, figs and dried dates. Leave it for another 20 minutes and more continental notes appear in the form of apple and pear completed with sweet spices, a touch of anise and a pinch of saffron. On the palate it opens up overly metallic then turns mineral rather quickly with notes of petrichor. The same dried fruits and orange peel make a comeback. Again quite tannic. Fresh herbal tea and anise at the back of the tongue. It has a burn, as the alcohol is unfortunately not integrated perfectly. Finishes lovely with honeyed tea, dried fruits and licorice candy. I like it, but I only just opened the bottle. The flavours are still very rudimentary and will most likely develop better over time with more oxidation.
